Matthew's Blog

One boy's long road to recovery. Matthew was born two months premature with a rare fourfold heart defect known as Tetralogy of Fallot with Pulmonary Atresia and MAPCA's, and Ventricular Septal Defect. He's had two open heart surgeries and will need additional heart surgeries in the future. To appreciate the absolute miracle of this "3 plus million dollar boy", you'd need to look into the "Archives" beginning after his first 9 hr open heart surgery at Stanford, August 2005.

Dr. Tenby was pleased with Matthew's progress. He keeps a chart of Matthew's weight gain and says he's right on track, though still underweight even for his adjusted age. He answered all of Terri's Mommy questions and gave Matthew a thorough exam. Then the nurse came in with Matthew's vaccinations. Our hero took a shot to each thigh and was none too happy.
